LAMENTABLE EXPLOSION.—On Tuesday after noon, about four o'clock, a most lamentable explosion of gunpowder took place in rile outbuildings belonging to Mr. Harrison, who is a shopkeeper and firmer, at Harlington, in Derbyshire, by which three persons—two meal and a boy —were killed. Mr. Harrison was accustomed to keep his stock of gunpowder in a barn near his house, whence quantities were taken for sale in his shop. His stock at the time of the explosion was about one cwt. The place where the powder was deposited was known to a lad in Mr. Harrison's service, who it appears had been accustomed to pilfer it for the purpose of making squibs, and in so doing had scat tered some on the ground on leaving the place. On Tuesday afternoon as Mr. Harrison's son (a fine young man), his nephew, and the servant lad, were standing near the barn, young Mr. Harrison observing some powder on the ground, remarked, "We will have a fir." He directly ignited the grains before him with a burning cinder, which commuicated with the powder in the barn, though the ground was damp, and in one moment the roof of the barn rose entire, and in the air broke in two parts; the walls were blown to pieces, four or five tons of hay were scattered in all directions, and Mr. Harrison's son, a nephew, and the servant boy, were killed by the explosion. A coroner's inquest has been held on the unfortunate youths, and a verdict returned accordingly. On Friday morning as a lad about seventeen, named Lea, was driving a cart at a rapid rate towards MOE End, he was vio lently precipitated to the ground by the wheel coming in contact with that of a waggon, heavily laden, going in an opposite direction. He was taken up in a state of insensibility, and removed to the hospital, where, on examination, it was found that he had sustained a compound fracture of one leg, three of his ribs were broken, and his head dange. rota!) , contused. DIABOLICAL MI/RI:JELL—This town has been thrown into great excitement by a murder of an atrocious character, perpetrated a few days ago. The manner in which this murder was discovered is as follows :—The police watchman on duty at the Thorter.row having entered a court on the east side of that lane, discovered a human body lying at the side of an outside stair, h ading by a few steps to apartments occupied by Arthur Wood, street porter, and his wife Honey Young or Wood. The body turned out to be that of John Wood, son of the above Arthur Wood by a first mar riase. The young man, when taken up by the watchman, was found quite dead, but his body was warm. It was lying on the flag-stones op posite his father's door, the feet being next the stair, as if he had been thrown from it. External marks of violence were immediately per ceived. There was a large contusion on the back of the head, which on examination by Drs. Webster and Moon, was found to be a fracture of of the skull; arid, in addition to this, marks of a rope were deeply in dented round his neck, as if he had been strangulated and then thrown on the ground. The strongest suspicions being entertained against Arthur Wood and kis wife—for causes which will afterwards be shown —both were taken into cumtody. They were found in the house drink ing spirits when the officers went to apprehend them. Both were pre cognosced before the police court yesterday, and handed over to the Pro curatcr.fiscal for prosecution. In this state of the matter we forbear to sly more than that the suspicions entertained are likely to be fully sup. ported by a chain of circumstantial evidence. The deed is one of the most eabolical that has ever happened in Dundee.—Dundee Courier. Last week the adjourned inquest on Mrs. Mo ralee, the unfortunate lady who was killed in consequence of the over turning of the Courier Leeds and London coach, was held at the Star Inn at Lofthouse. It clearly appeared from the evidence that the coach. men of the Courier and the Express were racing against each other, and as the former coach was descending Lofthouse-hill, having no slipper on, it proceeded at a very rapid rate, from which cause the accident above alluded to occurred. The jury consulted together for about twenty mi nutes, but were doubtful as to the propriety of including in their verdict of manslaughter the coachman of the Express. At length the jury re turned a verdict cf " Manslaughter against Michael Rowell, the driver of the Courier, and a deodand of 504 upon the horses and 501. t.pon the coach," FIRE.—On Thursday morning, about half-past six o'clock, an alarming fire broke out upon the premises of Mr. Fowler, oilman, of No. 40, Cornwall-road. The alarm having at once been given, the engines from this West of England office and the Waterloo road station, with two others,were soon upon the spot, and happily suc ceeded in extinguishing the flames before they had time to communi cate with the shop, The fire is supposed to have originated from the light ing of a candle in one of the bed. rooms. The damage done isestimatcd at 4001., but we are happy to state that the property was insured. Last week an aged honest couple, named Yvon, living in a miserable garret in the Rue Pagevin, were rob'ied in the most audacious manner of the savings accruing from many years' pain ful privations. A femee sw:ndler, in the absence of the wife, intro duced herself to the husband as having been commissioned by the Duchess of Orleans to distribute pecuniary assistance to the indigent inhabitants of the al randissernent The impostor having requested per mission to examine the aged couple's wordrobe, in order, as she stated, that she might be enabled to supply its deficiencies, the husband without the least distrust consented, and the charitable dune, after a minute in spection, took leave, with a promise to return the next day and supply such articles as were wanting. The wife, on returning soon afterwards, examined her effects, and found that 45E, which constituted their little all, were missing. QuAcKrny IN FRANCE.-Three doctors and an apothecary left the French metropolis for a professional tour through the provinces in January, 1837. The quack medicine which they vended was calved the "Sucre Mexique," a composition of jalap and sugar, in the sale of which they were very successful, reaping an abund ant harvest from the folly and credulity of the public. At Orleans, however, their career was arrested : being legally qua:itied to practice, they could not be prosecuted for the assumption of that right ; but the irdictment contained a count for swindling, en which they were con victed, and sentenced respectively to tine and imprisonment. The charge vras, obtaining money on &Ise pretences, the guaranteeing a cure in all cases, and proscribing the same remedy, the " Sucre Mexique," for every disease, without distinction of age, sex, or constitution. A young man, named Cotigne, residing in the Cite Pergere, having for some time past shown signs of mental derangement, his family mule application to the proper authorities for leave to put him in confinement, but, unfortunately, his madness was not deemed to be ouch as to warrant this measure. A few days ago a friend, on walking into his bedroom, was horror-struck at finding M. Cc tigne on his bed, 1% a 3 covered with blood. The first impression was that a suicide had l been committed, and th e C omm issary cf Police was sent for. This oE cer soon arrived, presented himself as being a physician, and asked Coigne how he did ? " Very well" was the reply; "c ome and sec how I have cut off my li t tl e toe ; a little too, you know, is of no use, arid mine was always in m y Way ;" and he exhibited his mutilated foot. The young man did not show the least emotion, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he was persuaded that he must go to his surgeon's house, since he kept declaring that . it was by no means necessary, and t hat he neve; !"...it was at iergth taken to a private -bOtiSC.

Against it Majority —lB THE SUN, LONT)ON, rakSDAY, AUGUST 14, is as The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour; Lord G. SO liE R SLIT lmwe'l)t tl - . 1 tof the Corn ki • • oe. the I .2•liicester Hundred Court Bill. Mr. P. SC R 0 PE presented several Aietitions a`gainst the 4111. and uvrie - ct that it b;; Tarter l'ionsio.erta that clay tnree moruns. At t , l'e“‘ . ' i:e - opie of Stroud were obliged to resort to Ci relle..ster, a distance of fourteen miles, in order to recover a debt, and nothing could be more proper than that there should be a Court established in Stroud, which cetitained a manulac twine. poi.ailation of 40,000 or 50,000. The people of Stroud wished to have a Court, the appointments of which should ema nate f;ont the Crown or themselves. He had no other course left to him, representing as he did the opinions of a great body of the inhabitants of Stroud, than to ask the House to postpone the further consideration of the Bill to another Session. Lord G SOMERSET said he feared if hi had the op position of the Noble Lord (J. Russell), he should have little ehance of gibing the seppart of Honourable Gen tlemen cpposite. The Bill ha i but one object—that a Court which was now exercising a jurisdiction over an extent of 30 miles, and holding its sittings at one particular place, migh; hold its sittings at .such other places as were most convenient. Every alteration which was made in re gard to the practice of the Court, was for the advantage of suitors, as providing that defendants should have costs in cases of frivolous or vexatious actions. The Bill bad received the approbation of the Lord Chancellor, and the only ground of objection apparently was, that the people of Stroud did not like it. But the Bill had been brought in on account of nume rous applications to the Lord of the Hundred in former sessions. The only case brought before the Committee, as a proof of the improper conduct of this Court, was, where a poor man obtained redress against a rich man. If that was the only case which could he brought forward, the conduct of the Court did not much deserve the reprobation of the House. The object of the present Bill was not to confirm the consti tution of th Court, but simply to enable it to be held in every part of the district. Under these circumstances he should press the further consideration of the Report. Lord .1. RUSSELL said his objection to the Bill was not so much on account of misconduct on the part of the Court, as if any reform took place in Courts of this descrip. tion it ought to be on different principles from what was con templated by this Bill. The general subject had been brought by him under the consideration of Parliament, and he had informed various parties who had applied to him, that these small Courts were so objectionable, that it was not ad visable to renew them. With regard to this Court, the proposal was, that it should have certain powers, and go to places to which it had not hitherto gone. The objec tion to that was, that Stroud having become a large manufac turing district, if there was to be a Court for small debts in the borough, it ought either to be connected with the whole county, or a District Court for this populous district. This was a Court which was manifestly not suitable to the popula tion of a place like the borough of Stroud. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw and the House divided, when the numbers were : The Bill was consequently lost. Sir. C. STYLE presented a petition from Scarborough praying that the Irish Tithe Bill might not pass into a law. LORD BYRON. Mr. LEADER presented a petition from Col. Leicester Stanhope, complaining that a statue of Lord Byron, which had been subscribed for by several persons of distinction, had not been erected in Westminster Abbey, in consequence of the refusal of the Dean to allow it to be placed there. The peti tioner prayed the House to adopt some steps on the subject. Among those who had subscribed to the statue were Sir Francis Burdett, Lord Denman, the Marquis of Sligo, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and Lord Ashburton. The prayer of the petition was that the House would take such steps as would insure the reception of the statue into a public edifice as Westminster Abbey undoubtedly was. Mr. WARBURTON had two petitions sent him for pre sentation, but he wLs afraid that they were irregular. They sere complaining of the decision come to by the late Maidstone Election Committee, and praying for a Select Committee to inquire into the circumstances, and if possible to reverse them. The SPEAKER—It is out of the power of the House to receive them. PtiV frorn Lord Durham._ cicl4sive of the serni-official Or officious document wilier) apricattl ir. the illornino Omni, le, signed "C. Ball: r." It commenced by that their first greatd7t. ntigta at first sight appear an act u great despotism. He (e. Leacici) thotghi it did al:pry so to every one, and be was not ce:tain that those tvn had iOned that srdintince would not require a i Act of indem- Lity tor having none ark li._ , gged lo ask the Noble Lord if h e i n t en d e d to move for any ameiiariie ti 4 O'te! Bill, or if he wished to adopt it es it stood? Lord J. RUSSELL said that he could not as yet answer that question. — The Bill had only just been sent down from the Lords, and he therefore could not be expected to say as yet whether he should feel it necessary to adopt the Bill as it stood, or whether he should feel c , illed upon to move any amendment. With regard to Lord Durham, he was enabled to say that a despatch had been received relating to that ordinance, and had been laid upon the table of the House of Lords. _ . Sir CHARLES GREY said that he had not as yet seen the document al:uded to. He felt so deeply inter: sted in the affairs of Canada, that be would offer a few observations to the House upon the subject of the proceedings which had lately taken place in that country. It appeared to hilt that the ordinance ices decidedly illegal. Lord J. RUSSELL suggested that it would be better to postpone those remarks until to-morrow evening, when the sub;,eet would be fully discus=ed. Sir C. GRE Y agreed in the sulgestion of the Noble Lord, and he should, tlivrefore, postpone his observations till the Bill was about to he fully discussed. Lord STANLEY concurred in the view of the Noble Lord with respect to the discussion of the Bill ; indeed it would be not only inadvisable that they should enter into the discussion then, but it was physically impossible to proceed with it sooner than the time which had been appointed. In scarcely any other instance could the Government be justified in bringing a Bill through the House with such haste. From the importance of the subject he felt the necessity of discuss ing it before as full a House as could be obtained with the small number - of Members at pres , nt in town. He should not, until the Bill was before them for the purpose of discus sion, give any opinion as to the legality or illegality of that ordinance, or the propriety of the Act of indemnity, or the powers of the Colonial Legislature to alter or amend Acts of this Parliament. He should not offer any opinion until this Bill came before them to be discussed. '1 he Bill was read a first time; it was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow (this day), in order to afford an opportunity for discussion. Lord STANLEY wished to be informed bow many Mem bers of the Legislative Council were present when that ordi nance Is as agreed to; also if any were opposed to it; and, in that case, how many? Sir G. GREY said that this would be ascertained at the end of the Session, when they should receive the minutes of the Council, which had not as yet arrived. Sir W. FOLLETT wished to know if there had been five Members of the Legislative Council present when the ordi nance was agreed to. Sir G. GREY was not aware what number were present, but as the law required that five should be present, the pre surption was that there was at least that number. Sir E. SU GD EN suggested that as much of the des patidi or despatches of Lord Durham as related to the ordi nance should be laid before the House. We understood Lord J. RUSSELL to a agree to this suggestion. The House then adjourned at Half-past Six. HOUSE OF LORDS, Auousr 13. The LORD CUANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack shortly after Five o'Clock. The Port of London Coals Regulation Bill, the Four and a Half per Cent. Duties Repeal Bill, the Exchequer Bills (Pub lic Works) Bill, the Gaols (Ireland) Bill, and the Registra tioq of Voters Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. Lord BROUGHAM moved the third reading of the Per sonal Diligence ( Scotland) Bill. He did so upon the under standing that his Hon. and Learned Friend the Lord Advocate would make the law in Scotland of arrest for debt similar to that in England. The Noble and Learned Lord presented petitions against the Beer Bill. The Noble Lord stated that it was not his intention to press the Beer Bill he had introduced to a second reading this Session, as there was no chance of its passing this Session.—(Cheers.) He still remained of the same opinion as when he introduced the measure, and he gave this notice of his intention to renew the Bill next Session, in:order that persons might be pre vented from embarking more capital in such undertakings. CANADA GOVERNMENT BILL. Lord BRO UG HAM said that it now became his duty, from what took place on Friday, to move the third reading of the Canaria Indemnity Bill. He had some little doubt as to extending it to civil actions, but, nevertheless, he would movo its third reading. The Duke of WELLINGTON supported the third read ing of the Bill. Lord DENM AN opposed the Bill, considering that it would be against common justice if the Bill was allowed to pass. At the game time he must confess that the powers that had been exercised by Lord Durham in issuing the ordinances he had done, far exceeded the powers given. He entirely ac quitted Lord Durham of any improper intention ; he thought he was doing that which would be for the best, but he had exceeded all and justice. With respect to sending- these persons to Bermuda, he would not say that the Noble Earl was justified or not in doing so until be had read all the Acts upon the subject. He thought a Bill of Indem nity a most unconstitutional proceeding. The Govern ment had no right to say to a suffering and ruined man, " You have no right to take proceedings against o'er officer ; be was influenced by the most praiseworthy mo tives." That was a violation of all principles of sound legislation, which ought not to be resorted to, without the greatest possible and clearest necessity. If the Government or Parliament thought their officer justified by his intentions or results, let them indemnify him out of the public purse, but let them not prevent the in jured party from seeking redress.—( Hear, hear, hear.) For these reasons he had the greatest possible objection to the present proceeding. In 1818, when a Bill of Indemnity was brought into Parliament for a violation of the Habeas Corpus Act, it had been strenuously re sisted by Mr. Lumbton, and he had no doubt if the Earl of Durham were present he would be able to justify himself to their Lordships. By the Act of Parliament now befop them, they were proceeding to declare that the Acts of Lord Durham were not justified by law ; but it appeared to him that persons whose acts were not justified by law ought to stand by the consequences of these Acts, because nothing could be more improper or unwise than to interfere with the ordinary course of the law. The Crown might not in case of injury institute proceedings, or it might stop them if already instituted by a noli prosequi ; but with regard to private individuals the case was different. If such a course were permitted in one case it might be done in another whenever the conduct of a Magistrate was called in question ; in such cases, although the individual might have been ruined by imprisonment or fine, a Bill of Indemnity might be called for on the ground that the Magistrate had acted for the good of the public service. On these grounds he thought the proposition highly objec tionable and unconstitutional. Lord BROUGHAM felt the force of what had fallen from his Noble and Learned Friend, coming, as it did, from the first authority in the country. At the same time his Noble and Learned Friend would forgive him (Lord Brougham) if he submitted one or two observations, which would blunt the edge of his remark on the course of proceeding. It would have been to him (Lord B.) a matter of great astonishment if his Noble. and Learned Friend had not expressed his opinion on the ma terial part of the busiress—the outrage on all law, justice, humanity, and common sense, of condemning persons unheard and unwarned even to suffer death if they should set foot in their native country—including the innocent with the guilty. If his Noble and Learned Friend had agreed in chat he should have been astonished, and he should have been humbled if a doubt had been expressed on the subject. The only question was as to the party to which this Bill applied, for it had nothing to do with that outrage and injustice, which would have been equally an outrage, if they bad had the power of passing Bills of attainder. Sup pose the Canada Bill gave the Governor the power to pass Bilis of attainder against whoever he pleased, it would have been monstrous enough, for a Bill of attainder meant a Bill of attainder after the parties had been heard. What this Bill touched was the conduct of those who had issued the order, and above all, as the Noble Duke opposite stated the other night, those alto had acted under that 'order. His Noble and Learned Friend's first objection was, that he could not tell but that the Governor might have the power of sending people to I3ermuda. The Governor had only the power of sending convicts there. Ile had not t':e power of vending those nine men, who had not been tried, and were therefore not convicts. Ile was staggered by wl.at bad fallen from his Noble and Learned Friend respecting the indemnity, and by so doing declaring the acts and onlinances illegal in the absence of the parties ; but he did not care . about that declara tion so long as at the same time they granted and gave a full indemnity from all penalties, both civil and criminal. His Noble and Learned Friend had said that so far as it was criminal there was no neces sity, because the Crown need not prosecute, or cou!d L t any time enter a nol. pros. But that would not save the Governor and Council from an impeachment. Ile agreed with his Noble and Learned Friend with regard t o the taking away of the right of civil action, but it was ni,t the fist instance of the kind, unfortunately, he acknowledged, for the precedenthad been set before. After a few obsevations from the Duke of Wellington, Lord Denman, and Lord Brougham, the Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of the Earl of SEIAFTESBURY, a Mes -s,ga was sent to the Housa of Commons, t o request a C on. f ,,.„ ne e on the subject of their amendments to the Benefices pluralities Bill, The Dultc. of LE/NSTER preented petitions from Dub lin, against the Spirit Licenses Bill. Tire Earl of GLENGALL presented petitions from different part , . of Ireland against the collection of tolls at fairs and inLrkets in Ireland. PLURALITIES OF BENEFICES BILL,. The following Noble Lords were appointed managers of conference on the part. of their Lordships :—The Earl of SlrafCcs.bury, the Earl of Wicklow, V e ount Ilawarden,ViE count Extra uth, the Bishop of London, Lord and Ler.l Stratford. On the return of the managers, 'I he Earl of SHAFTESBURY informed the House that they ha is left tile Bill, with their Lordships' reasons, with the n7auagers of tl,e conference on the part of the House of Commons, THE DUCHY OF CORNWALL—TIN DUTIES BILL. Viscount MELBOURNE in/moving the aecoud readiug of thi& nui said that no doubt could be entertained that it would be equally advantageous to tini Crown and to the crade-a , :tl eotilt!! , r , 2. of this country, e Duke or WEA,LINGTON hod no desire to thr,,w nny difil,.llty in the way of any artping,:rilent which might be be riz. , 9.Ail to the country all he desired was, that the [louse of Lords slUitlld have the opportunity of doing its deity on thin question as it would ',lpon others of this nature.. lle liked to have the opportunity of considering the nature and • l)&r!ttr: the bargain entered into with the Crown, and not to concur in a bargain of which they had had no opportunity of juLtin , • The Earl of WICKLOW concurred g(iii6Mily in the oh servalion of the Noble Duke as to the impropr iet y or liorry ing Gills through Out House at so late a period of the session but if ever there were a measure to which that observation was inapplicable it was the present. It had been stAted that this was an interference with the property of the Crown ; but of c,urse the Crown consented, and a fair cquivale.it was given. Lord BROUGHAM was convinced by the Noble Earl on one condition, viz , that his fact was correct ; hut then, unfortunately, the Noble Earl was never more mistaken ; for if ever there was a Bill which was not for the retni , sion of taxatioe it was this. This was a Bill for taking 19,000/. a.-year out of the consolidated fund, and supplying it from an other :source. If he took 19,0001. out of the pecket of the Noble Earl and supplied that sum from a other quarter, w h a t b ene fit wo uld the Noble Earl derive? The only poi sibility of ben, fit to the people was from the reduction ill the price of this commodity—tin; and ultimately by that means the public might gain ; but who were the gainers in the first place? No wonder that every body con neced with Cornwall approved of this measure ; they were the tin owners; excellent men, with many of whom he was acquainted—men having an acute regard to their own interests as well as to the interests of this country, and of their own county particularly. Well, a Bill of this importait kind was for the first time preset - 1' ed to the consideration of their Lord ships on the 13th of August. He differed from the Noble Earl, who observed that merely because this related to a tax their Lordships should not interfere. It was the duty of that House to examine for itself, and to be for it or against it. The more so because they had no power to alter it. There was one point of difficulty with regard to the interests affected by this Bill—be did not mean the interests of the Crown, but of the unborn Duke of Cornwall, for, by the peculiar limitation attached to the descent of that property, so long as the re was no Duke of Cornwall, the property was vested in the Crown; lett, as soon as a Duke of Cornwall made his appearance, the Crown was divested, and the property vested in the Duke of Cornwall. But, independently of that objection, he had great doubts as to the beneficial tendency of the measure ; and it was only necessary for him now to say that time ought to be given to clear up these doubts. After a few words from the Earl of WICKLOW, The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE said that the Bill was highly beneficial to the country at large ; fur it relieved it from two taxes—the one local, pressing grievously on the county of Cornwall ; the other general—both having the effect of rais ing the price of the article for the consumers in every part of the kingdom. At a time when they were boasting of their principles of free trade were they to continue a tax which Pre vented the importation of tin to those places where it could be smelted at the cheapest rate? Not the exchange of com modities from one country to another, but from one county to every other in the same country. He asked their Lordships whether they would re-impose a tax of that sort which the "House of Commons, after considerable discussion and investi gation had taken off, especially when they heard that persons had been already acting on the understanding that this arrange ment would be made. Lord BROUGHAM could not sec the force of the reason ing that because the House of Commons had well considered the question, and knew all about it, though their Lordships knew nothing about it, therefore they ought to concur in this Bill. All that the Noble Marquis had said might be true, but he only required time for investigating the subject. Lord LYNDHURST had had no opportunity of inquiring into the subject, and if lie voted for this Bill, he should vote in blind confidence in the wisdom of her Majesty's Ministers, and he did not wish to place himself in that predicament. The Earl of DEVON was disposed to vote for the Bill, because he knew the vexation which attended the present duties. The Bill was then read a second time. A Message from the Commons brought up several Bills. Lord BROUGHAM would only detain their Lordships a few minutes, whilst he stated the nature of a petition which he had to present from the Hon. Leicester Stanhope, who was one of a Committee of Noblemen and Gentlemen formed in 1825 for erecting a statue to the memory of that illustrious poet, Lord Byron. Many Members of their Lordships' and of the other House of Parliament subscribed to this monu ment; and to show that it was not a party matter amongst the subscribers, he saw the Noble Earl opposite, his Noble and Learned Friend the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, the Noble Marquis the President of the Council (Lans downe), the President of the Board of Controul ( Sir John Cam Hobhouse), Sir F. Burdett, Sir Robert Peel, the Noble Duke near him (Devonshire), and the Noble Baron (Holland) the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. The work was entrusted to Thorwaldsen ; he finished the statue, and it was admitted to be the masterpiece of that great sculptor. It was brought to this country fifteen years ago, and was a subject of much interest ;it was scarcely an accidental—a chance felicity • which rendered this work so much superior to the other pro ductions of the same artist ; for the genius of the artist was fired by enthusiasm at the kindred genius of the poet ; and "gratior . e grato corpue," the genius of the poet was clothed in a form of exquisite beauty. So far the transaction re flected great honour on this country, but what followed de served a different description. That great work had been now for fifteen years lying unpacked in its case at the Custom house ; and he would state the reason of that strange fact Application had been made in the usual form to the Dean of Westminster for the admission of this statue into Westminster Abbey, where the ashes of so many illustrious persons re posed, and the answer was in these words :—" I had not the opportunity of consulting with the Chapter until this morning. When you formerly applied for permission to inter the remains of Lord Byron within the Abbey, I stated the grounds on which we as Churchmen were compelled to decline acceding to that proposal. The erection of a monument in honour of his memory is in a certain proportion subject to the same objections. Ido wish to have a figure of Thorwaldsen here, but I can al low no prejudice or feeling of that sort to interfere with that which I consider to be a duty." That duty being to listen to the slanders promulgated against that great man on the score of his religious opinions. He defied any man to say what his (Lord Byron's) religious opinions were.—( A laugh.) Not even his most intimate friends knew them. He appealed to those Christians by whom ho (Lord Brougham) was sur rounded—whether they thought it fair, just, or charitable, to condemn every man with not being as Christian as themselves, if he concealed within his own bosom his own faith—which, he begged to remind those who scoffed at Lord Byron's con cealment of his religious opinions—was a matter between him self and his Maker. Under these circumstances the petition prayed their Lordships to take such steps as would induce the temporary keeper of a national edifice to open its doors for the statue of one whose genius was universally admired, and whose religious opinions could form no ground of exclusion, since they were not known to his most intimate friends, and were not to be judged by his youthful and fictitious writings. That petition had been placed in his hands to present, and he would now only add that if there were anything irreligious in having this statue erected in the Abbey, it must be exceedingly irre ligious to subscribe fur its erection ; and yet amongst the sub scribers be found his Noble Friend the President of the Council, than whom no man was a firmer friend of the Church or a more conscientious believer in its doctrines, and many others to whom the same observation applied. There was even a difference of opinion between the University of Oxford and the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, fur Sir Robert Peel was Member for that University when he sub scribed to this statue ; and yet the Right Rev. Dean Ireland did not think fit to allow it to enter Westminster Abbey. There Were many Catholics buried in the Abbey, and several notorious unbelievers had their moeuments and epitaphs with in that sacred building ; but this statue had been excluded on grounds for which there was no just foundation BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. The Marquis of SALISBURY complained of the length to which the obserystions of the Noble and Learned Lend lied extended, as he (Lora Brougham) hod interrupted him in bringing forward his mot'o i by saying that be only had a p estion to present. Ile (the Marquis of Salisbury) found in the proceedings of the other House a motion for a return of the number of Bills rejected by their Lordships this session ; and as there could be no doubt that the object of the motion was to cast a slur upon the proceedings of their Lordshipa' House, he thought it right that some notice should be taken of the matter, and that it was necessary to show that they had net been negligeet with respect to the business of the prescat session. It appeared to him as if every session there was mo e difficulty in getting Bills from the other House at such a period as to affird their Lordships a fair chance of considering their provis;ons. An instance hid been first affirded that night. They had passed the second reading of a 11,11 of which con fessedly only those Noble Lords who were particularly con nected ',Eli the county to which it applied knew anything. He had himself raoYeil the rejection of sonic Bills, and lie was therefore entitled to call on their Lcielships for a return of the dot's at which these Bills were brought up to that House. During the present session they had received from the House of Commons 103 Bills, and out of those 58 had been scot up the, last six weeks, 45 only having been received during the whole of the remainder of the session. Ile was inclined to say that the fault did not so much rest with the other House, for when he saw the number of deys iu which nn House was feiened, he must say that he could not help thinking that the Govermeent had some object in de layieg the Bills, and that perhaps :hey were in hopes, at a late pe.ied of tie see.jon, that the Bills might more easily be hurried - ti-e-ough, and would net be subject to so strict and careful an ettion as thou would be at an earlier period. His object was to show by the returns for which he should move, that, owing to delays and postponements in another place, they had.duriog eight months nothing whatever to do, but that during the last month of the session they received an immense number of Bills, all of which it was impossible for them to take into consideration. The Noble Marquis eons e'uded by moving for a return of the number of Bills brought up this session from the other House of Parliament, distin guishing the months in which they were brought up. After a few words from Lord HOLLA ND, which were in audible in the gallery, Lord MELBOURNE said that the motion made in ano ther place with respect to the Bills which had passed through their Lordships' House this Session, was not intended as any imputation upon them. Their Lordships had a right to reject as many Bills as they pleased. The question was not as to '; Cho number which had btcti rejected, but as to whether tiro,' ,O. t were rejected justly. That was the whole que stion. He must; d,nv dim there been any unnecessary delay with re to ilp• measures brought forty rd by Goverment. 1-be .. "i the close of the Session, it was u ual to have g"3 tria:s of . str:-n7th p:irty battles, for fie purpose of trakil!g no impression out of the House. These had a double ef f ' et retnrding bwiness, for ty-si,los the times consumed io t er3c nobody likd to press forward any measure he saN "' l '` ) , was likely to be Nlinister. The Earl of WICK LOW said, that the motio n made elf-e. where was for th e numb er o f Bills which bad been rejected hi their Lordships, and, this being so, he could not help co o curring in the opinion, that the object of such a motionrias to throw an imputation upon their Lordships. Lord HOLLAND said such a motion was not warranted i:rceedent, and the introduction of such topics was nut ca l ' culate to increase dispatch. After a few words from the Marquis of SALI SBURIT' which did not reach the gallery, the motion was INIPRISONMFNT FOR DEBT Bill. On the proposal for considering the Commons' amend m ente on this 1341,whic h Lord BROUGHANI objected to the 2atli clause, v rendered it imperative on proprietors of newspapers to t all advertisements with respect to the schedules of iosolv! , t debtors for a sum of three shillings each. Such an enqetl n i would he the ruin of newsp ipers generally, and he ha ceived numerous letters from provincial journals, express':Z guat alarm at such a proposition. Another objeet'" ll . that the slightest typogi aphical error would vitiate suchX4 affreed to. tices, and render the proprietors of the newspapers in vv u _, such errors might occur liable for all the expenses const.2 defect on the delay occasioned by such informality. The e t i o a, would be easily remedied by introducing a Bill of one See ~,„t and by suspending the Standing Order it could be done night, and, by passing through both Houses of Parham" receive the Royal assent before the close of the Session. # bio Lord LYNDHURST concurred in the objection 01_.0 Noble and Learned Friend, but thought the objection eetuhe. be obviated by the introduction of a proviso in one ° halit e amendments then under consideration, increasing the it ei- for advertisements proportionally in all cases where ceeded five lines. riod The LORD CHANCELLOR objected , at this p — tie of the session to the suspension of the Standing Order. did not see that much inconvenience would be felt. f ,„,Z After some conversation between Lord Broughain; Lyndhurst, and the Lord Chancellor, "„ It was agreed that Lord BROUGHAM should, en t : "", to stunt, draw up a short Bill to meet the objection . of .0c" complained. 0 0 46 In the meantime the Commons' amendment s to the D Ol.

Yesterday Bazil de Mail', a Canadian refugee, was placed at the bar before Mr. DkOUGHTON and Mr. (hos"Y, a county magistrate, hared with having slaughtered a cow and stolen a part of the carcase., under tiie foldi*ing eirenmstances. In consequence of a report that the animal was alive when the flesh had been cut away from it, the prisoner had to be con ducted IYorn the station , house of the N division, at Kingiland, und , r the protection of Inspector Mellish and a body of police of the N division. The mob threatened to tear Lim ti pieces, a:l4 he was groaned at and pelted with stones:— Police Constable, N 108, about six o'clock that morning, met the prisoner in the Kingsland-road, and who, upon seeing the witness, went down a lane. Witness followed him, and asked him what he had in h's possession ? The prisoner, al luding, to a bottle he had beside him, said water. Witness finding that he had a large quantity of meat which appeared to have been cut from some animal recently slaughtered, t.)ok him to the station-house, where, shortly after, a person called, stating that a cow belonging to Mr. Dawkins, farmer, at Tot tenham, had been killed. Mr. Dawkins had found the cow about three o'clock that morning in the shed. The hind quarter had been cut away, and the entrails were strewed about the floor. The prisoner had tied the legs of the poor beast before he had committed the work of slaughter. The piece cut off was shown to the Magistrates. It weighed about 501bs. Inspector Mellish said that the prisoner's arm was bloody, and that he had a clasp knife in his pocket, which was also bloody. Some cord was found in his pocket and some canvass, which COT responded with the same articles found in the shed. Mr. Swaine, a butcher, in Whiteeross-street, having been requested by Mr. Broughton to examine the cow and the flesh cut from it, said that there were gashes on each side the windpipe, but he saw no cut by which the breath could have been stifled before the hind quarter was cut off. He never saw a carcase so mutilated. The tearing out of the entrails would have caused death. Prisoner said he met a man in a donkey-cart about three that morning, who offered him the meat for a shilling. His knife got bloody, as he lent it to the man to cut the meat off, as he took a piece for himgetf, and the cord and canvass found on him was given to him by the man, who was an entire stranger to him. The prisoner was committed for trial. MAIL-BAGS LOST, STOLEN, OR MISLAID. — Owing to some extraordinary oversight or mistake, the mail from the south arrived on Thursday night without the London bags, in conse quence of which we are, of course, unable to give any of the usual Wednesday's London news, «e hope the bags have not been stolen ; but it seems strange that, if they had merely been left behind, they were not, on the fact being discovered, forwarded in a post.chaise, in which case they would have been here long before the time of eur going to press, when they had not arrived.—Carliae Patriot. The palace of Herod stands on a table of land on the very summit of the hill, overlooking every part of the surrounding country; and such were the exceeding softness and beauty of the scene, even under the wildness and waste of Arab cultivation, that the city seemed smiling in the midst of her desolation. All around was a beau tiful valley, watered by running streams, and covered by a rich carpet of grass, sprinkled With wild flowers of every hue, and beyond, stretched like an Open book before me, a boundary of fruitful mountains, the vine and the nave rising in terraces to their very summits. There, day after day, the haughty Herod had sat in his Royal palace, and looking out upon all these beauties, his heart had become hardened with prosperity ; here, among these still towering columns, the proud monarch had made a supper "to his lords, and high captains, and chief estates of Galilee ;" here the daughter of Herodias, Herod's brother's wife," danced before him, and the proud King promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask, even to the half of his kingdom." And while the feast and dance went on, the " head of John the Baptist was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel." And Herod has gone, and Hero dias, Herod's brother's wife, has gone, and the " lords, and the high captains, and the chief estates of Galilee" are gone; but the ruins of the palace in which they feasted are still here; the mountains and valleys which beheld their revels are here; and oh! what a comment upon the vanity of worldly greatness—a Fellah was turning his plough around one of the columns. I was sitting on a broken capital, under a rip,.trce by its side, and I asked him what the ruins were we saw; and while his oxen were quietly cropping the grass that grew among the fragments of the marble floor, he told me that they were the ruins of the palace of a King—he believed, of the Christians; and while pilgrims from every quarter of the world turn aside from their path to do homage in the prison of his beheaded victim, the Arab who was driving his plough among the columns of his palace knew not the name of the haughty Herod. Even at this distance of time I look back with a feeling of uncommon interest upon my ramble among those ruins, talking with the Arab ploughman of the King who built it, leaning against a column which, perhaps, had often supported the haughty Herod, and looking out from this scene of desolation and ruin upon the most beau tiful country in the Holy Land.—Stephen's Incidents of Travel in the Holy Land, Egypt, Edom, THE TRUCK.

The barber said, the latter would be most convenient, and, accordingly agreed to shave the cooper ad valorem. The other day, a friend meeting the cooper, with a long tolerated and "Broad black beard, Just like a shoe.brush stuck beneath his nose." asked him, if the bucket was paid for. " No," replied the cooper, " but I've only one shave left, and I mean to have value received." — Sunderland Herald. WHIRLWIND.—The whirlwind which we men tioned on Wednesday as having occurred in the neighbourhood of Old ham on Monday evening, was felt also near Middleton, where its vio lence was very great, tearing large branches from all the trees growing in its course, and carrying them to an immense height in the air. Some of them are said to have been carried a mile from the place whence they were torn. A ♦ery large willow tree, at Little Green Mill, near Mid. dleton, was split up the middle during the storm; but we should rather suppose, that this must have been done by lightning, which was several times observed during the continuance of the phenomenon.—Manches ter Guardian.

When she perfor.ned for the benefit of musicians, she frequently re. turned the whole, or a large portion of the sum for which she was en. gaged ; and she often acted in the same manner towards public charities. When a great musical performance took place for the benefit of the Westminster Hospital, in 1821, she was solicited to contribute her ser. vices, but declined, on the ground that her own concerts, then announced, might bre injured by her previous appearance elsewhere. But, on the day after her first concert, she transmitted to the Committee the whole pro. ceeds of that performance, amounting to about 3001., as a gift to the hospital. When she visited Cracow, in the height of her fame, she was engaged, for a very large sum, to sing in the theatre. When the amount was tendered her she returned more than half of it as a contribution to. wards the fund for erecting a statue to the memory of Kosciusko. Kelly, in his " Reminiscences," says, " I could relate numberless traits of her goodness; no woman was ever more charitable or kind hearted, and as for the quality of her mind, I never knew a more perfect child of nature. At Bangor she heard the Welsh harp for the first time. The old blind harper of the house was in the kitchen ; thither she went, and seemed delighted with the wild and plamtive music which he played. But when he struck up a Welsh jig, she started up before all the servants in the kitchen, and danced as if she were wild; I thought she never would have ceased. At length, however, she finished; and on quitting the kitchen, she gave the harper two guineas."—Hugarth's Memoirs of the Musicet Drama. An irquest was on Saturday morning held at the King's Head public.house, Lerg Ditton, near Kingston, Surrey, before Mr. Carter, Coroner for the county, on the body of Richard Cole, late of the 50th Regiment of Foot, an out-pensioner of Chelsea Hospital, who was found drowned. It appeared that the deceased had beet, wan d:ring around the neighbourhood of Long Ditton for three or four days,. and seemed to be in a s t ate o f idi o t c y, being followed by a errd o f children, whom he was endeavouring to amuse. On the evening of Wedne,day last he went into a public-house and deposited a bundle of clothes with the landlady. He remained until eight o'clock, when he went out perfectly sober, and was not again feell alive. On the to!low ing morning a lab ourer going to his work oes -rved the body in the water in an osier bed. The Jury had no moral doubt that the deceased hed destroyed himself; but in the absence of a sufficient leeal evidrnrc to that effect they returned a verdict of " Found drowned." In add - tionto the paper found upon his person, describing him as an out-; en. sioner, there was found a duplicate in the name of John Cole, No. 25, D division, Bryanston-square. The Waterford _Chronicle contains the following paragraph relative to the railway report We find that a complaiut is justly made of the second report of the Railroad Commissioners, Until this report was put forward nothing could be more certain than that the Kilkenny line, already agreed upon, would have been perfected with English and Irish capital. But useful enterprise is now put iu abey ance by the ingenuity of one of the most accomplished jobbers hi the Kingdom. Let us recommend to public notice the report ; it is One of those efforts made by power to crush native speculation for its own purposes. By the Kilkenny line for which an Act of Parliament has beet, obtained, and for which Mr. Pierse Mabony wanted to be Soliel. tor, the distance of Waterford from Dublin would be but 95 mile, By the proposed line of Mr Mahony to which he is to be übiversal licitcr, the distance is 110 miles!—Monstrous! In fact the v, hole thing is a job, and a job, too, of the most ehjtelioaable character." The signs of the season give manifest evidence of its drawing to a close. The secondary set of London society is always the first to give way ; having neither Pat liamentary duties nor the still more urgent claims of faellion to detain them from the enjoyment of their parks arid gardens; they arc very early on the move, leaving the parks and the gardens to the enjoyment of a more fashionable elaes. Bal's and concerts are over in Bryanston-sguare full three weeks before those of Grosvenor or Berkeley, and Park-lane is still alive with dinner parties, when the chisnnies of the Regent's Park terraces have ceased to smoke. L.tPLosioN.— ast week, a gamekeeper, at Kirk evington, near Tartu, gave a gun into the care of Wass, the guard of be " Times" coach, who, not su , peeting that it was charged, stowed it away. Scarcely had the coach gone twenty yards, when, in consequence of somethiim touching the trigger, the piece went oft; and was so near lodging its contents in Wass's side, that his coat, which was tight bu;t: , ned, was singed by the explosion.—Sunderland Herald.

Mr. WALLACE brought up the Report of the Committee on Postage. Mr. BOTHERTON wished to know what were the leading features in the recommendations of the Committee.

Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD gave notice that he should next Session bring in a Bill to amend the law of copyright; and he should do that, whatever might be the fate of a measure introduced in the other House.—( Hear, hear.) IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT BILL. Mr. HUTT drew the attention of the law officers of the Crown to the fact, that in the Imprisonment for Debt Bill a clause was inserted, compelling the proprietors of newspapers to insert advertisements, by order of the Commissioners of Insol vent Debtors, for three shillings, whatever the length of the advertisements. The subject was of considerable im portance to the parties ; and he hoped it was not too late to remedy the grievance, evidently arising from oversight.

RUSSELL, the Order of the Day for the consideration of the Lords' amendments was read. The Lords' Amendments were then agreed to, together with several other verbal amendments. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said a question had been put to him by the Hon. Member for Newry a short time ago, to which he was not at that time prepared to reply. Since that time he had made some inquiry on the subject, and as it related to the integrity of the Reports presented to the Heusc, he wished to give some explanation. The Hon. Member asked whether he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was aware that certain copies of the Reports of the Irish Commis sioners on Railroads bad been printed with a note, and that the note had been expunged from others. The Hon. Member stated that at the time he had inhis possession a copy in which the note appeared. He (the Chancellorof the Exchequer) bad since spoken to the Commissioners on the subject, and they stated that in no published copy, to their knowledge, had the note appeared ; but that in a proof sheet prepared for them it did appear. How the Hon. Member became possessed of the copy to which he alluded he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was, therefore, unable to say. CANADA.

CANADA INDEMNITY BILL. Messengers from the Lords brought down the Canada In demnity Bill. Lord .1 RUSSELL said he believed it was generally de sirt d that the Session should not be protracted, a n d as i t was necessary to give this Bill full consideratiol he should propose a course which, whilst it would afford an opportunity for dis cussion, would not have the effect of lengthening the duration of the Session. The Bill related to a certain ordinance which had been lately issued in Canada.. It had b een d one for the benefit of the Crown and the pubic, and he would not at that atattc off_ir any opinion as tow bother or not h e cons i dered that ordinance or any part of it illegal or otherwise. The indem nity was proposed to be extended to those persons who had beea bsnished from Canada to Bermuda. As this was not the th - ne to discuss it he should say no more, but should move that the Bill be read a first and second time that even i n „..
